Mister Mario, you can heer the MIDI rict here. It's at the bottom of the page. Click on MIDI to hear it--but close out the website window--or the Machaut piece will keep playing and you won't bee able to heer the MIDI. The words are:

Flow my tears, fall from your springs!
Exiled forever, let me mourn
Where night's blackbird, her sad infamy sings
There let me live forlorn.

Down, vain lights, shine you no more!
No nights are dark enough for those
That in despair their lost fortunes deplore
Light doth but shame disclose.

Never may my woes be relieved, since pity is fled
And tears, and sighs, and groans
My weary days, my weary days
Of all joys have deprived.

From the highest spire of contentment, my fortune is thrown
And fear, and grief, and pain,
For my deserts, for my deserts
Are my hopes, since hope is gone.

Hark! You shadows that in darkness dwell,
Learn to condemn light.
Happy, happy they that in hell feel
Not the the world's despite.
